My Ántonia

I find myself still reading My Ántonia and not particularly excited about it. Several of the chapters I have read were actually interesting, but there doesn't really seem to be much to the book. It's a portrait of the early settlements on the Nabraska plains. It is much more about the place then the people in it, although some of them have fun stories. I have little to no sympathy for the main character. But then again I had this same problem with Catcher in the Rye, and a lot of people seem to really like that book- even obsess over it. Either way, I am determined to finish this book. perhaps it will redeem itself in the end.
